Kent Armstrong “Slimbucker” jazz pickup with slim profile (3/8" thick), side-mount configuration.

Its non-invasive mounting capabilities keep the guitar’s acoustic properties uninhibited.

Kent Armstrong opened the archives for this replication of a 1952 Tele® single coil bridge pickup using authentic 42 gauge Formvar wire and alnico 3 magnets for that true vintage tone that everyone demands from the boutique winders. Finally Kent added a stainless steel base plate to ensure the magnetic field is not absorbed by a magnetic plate lessening the field strength. Now these great pickups are available to you for a fraction of the cost! Chrome covered neck position available as a partner, P-PUK29.
